Riya was crying while Ali consoled her.

Ali:Hey come on my makeup ki dukaan, think of what will happen to your makeup?

Riya gave a wtf look to him to which he chuckled.

Ali: Riya I know how you feel but remember you must never cry for a man who doesn't care about you. 

Riya: Just seeing him, ignited a lot of feelings inside of me. I am not strong like Avni. I can't hold my feelings

Ali: And who is telling you to hold your feelings in? Let them out. Let them all out. But just this one time.

Riya nodded and continued to cry while Ali held her and rubbed her back. After a while, he dropped her to the house and told Nanu and Nani what happened

Nanu then hugged Riya tightly consoling her. Nani did the same. 

Nanu: It's ok Beta, just breathe

Nani: Riya no need to cry

Ali: Nanu do you mind I talk to you for a minute?

Nanu complied and went outside with ALi.

Nanu: Kya hua beta?

Ali: WOh Nanu I knew Avni and Riya were feeling bad because of their fathers so do you mind if I cook dinner today? I want to make them feel better.

Nanu smiled and nodded yes.

Riya went for a nap while Ali started cooking.  After a while, Neil and Avni joined them for dinner. Aman came the last.

Aman: Kya baat hai Ali bhai? You are cooking?

Ali: I just felt like cooking so I thought why not. Especially for my friends

Aman: Just friends or someone else too.

Aliya blushed while everyone gave them teasing looks.

Avni saw the plate of Poha on the table and gasped.

Avni: Ali! You made Poha?

Ali: Just the way you like it.

Aman: How did you know di liked Poha?

Avni: Woh

Ali: Areh Neela aunty told me

Neela: Beta please call me Maa. You are like my son too na?

Ali nodded while Neil smiled at Avni who was eating her Poha gleefully. 

Neil in mind: She looks so cute

Ali noticed that Riya was still depressed and decided to cheer her up. He then brought a plate in front of her which made her smile

Riya: Butter chicken!

Ali nodded while Riya gave him a hug.

Riya: Thank you

Ali: Anything for this precious smile

After dinner, the boys headed home. In the car, Neil was telling Ali about Riya and the possible discovery they found.

Ali:So Ruhi is like our second cousin?

Neil: Apparently

Ali: But what about her father? Where is he?

Neil: She said he disappeared but I think the Mehta clan has to do something with this. Maybe they kept him captivated.

As they were driving they saw a group of boys taking a girl. They quickly followed the car and saw a brothel.

Ali: Neil should I call DD and the force

Neil: Nahi Ali not yet

Ali: But why not?

Neil: because we need solid evidence. Right now I am going to take a picture of this location and then me and Avni will investigate the brothel. Maybe this is the one where Ashish Mehta runs his business

Ali nodded and they both headed home. At home everyone went asleep but  Shweta and Bebe.

Shweta: You guys are here? Did the girls and the family like their dinner?

Ali and Neil nodded and then proceeded to bebe

Neil: Bebe, is Ruhi here?

Shweta: No Neil, she is gone back home but why are you asking?

Neil: Bebe we need to talk about something private with you guys. Mind joining us in the garden?

The adults and the boys headed to the garden.

Bebe: Now what do you want to talk about?

Neil:Bebe, today Ruhi told me that her father is your younger brother son. Hansmukh. Maddy bua did you tell Ruhi?

Bebe: It is true that Hansmukh is my nephew but I don't know what happened, he just disappeared.

Ali: Bebe, Mamaji passed away a long time ago?

Bebe nodded: My younger brother passed away a long time ago. Hansmukh was the only son of him. He had two daughters who are already married but Hansmukh. I don't know what happened

Neil: But did he have any money or anything

Shweta: Ek minute, bebe, prakash told me that Hansmukhji had a lot of money after Mamaji death right?

Bebe:Yes thats true

Neil: I think I know why he disappeared.

Shweta: Why tillus?

Neil then explained his idea of how he thinks the Mehta family has captivated Hansmukh.

Bebe and Shweta gasped.

Bebe: No wonder he disappeared

Shweta: I knew those Mehta family was bad

Bebe: You wanted Neil to get married in that family

Shweta pouted. 

Neil: Anyway me and Avni have to investigate

Shweta: Otherwise known as my Tillu's Tilli.

Neil blushed madly while shrieking : MOM! GOD! YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO MY ROOM

Shweta and Bebe nodded while laughing. 

Bebe: By the way Ali, Kabir and Dadu have moved in

Ali: Thats great

Shweta: What happened to you?

Ali told how he and Riya saw Ketan and how she was feeling.

Shweta: I am so proud of you beta. I am proud that I am your mother.

Ali smiled and gave her a tight hug, saying goodnight to Bebe and Shweta.

Bebe:I am proud of my grandkids. I am proud of Tillu and Ali fighting for whats right

Shweta; me toos bebe. Me toos.

Bebe shook her head: One thing will never change!

Shweta: What bebe?

Bebe: Your English!


Precap: I'm not sure
